“The Twelve Apostles at golden hour, seen from above Camps Bay. We hiked up as a group one evening and stayed for hours, nobody in a hurry to leave. I turned away from the water at some point and this is what was behind us, the whole range lit up while everyone else was still watching the sun. There were twelve of us on that trip, strangers when we landed, sitting for an entire evening under a mountain range called the Twelve Apostles. I don't think any of us said the obvious thing out loud.”
